When the lights come up on In Tandem Theatre's production of James McLure's "1959 Pink Thunderbird" — comprised of one-act plays "Laundry and Bourbon" (directed by Jane Flieller) and "Lone Star" (directed by Chris Flieller) — a 30ish woman is peering into the western Texas countryside, stretching outward from her ramshackle back porch.

Earth is a great place to live and, in celebration of Earth Day, the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, 1111 E. Brown Deer Road, Bayside, wants to introduce you to some of its wonders right here in our own backyard. On Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., the center has a whole lot of fun things to do. Go canoeing on Mystery Lake. Or take a hike with one of the naturalists and discover the signs of spring you might otherwise miss. Go geocaching, pet some goats or even a reptile or two. Enjoy some music by Lil' Rev, some food or some craft projects. And don't forget to pick up some plants for your garden — not in the woods, but at the plant sale. Admission is $7 for adults and $6 for children or, for members, admission is $1 less. | April 26, 2014»Read Full Article
